Sonship: Live the theology you believe!
Sonship has expanded!! New plans have been made
1) Live teaching - We will move away from the video format and have live teaching with Richard White, Bill Lindner and others.
2) More small groups after the teaching for more personal discipling and reflection.
What is Sonship all About?
Many of us understand the faith intellectually, but our hearts have not quite kept up with our heads. Sonship is designed to help you take some of the glorious theological truths of the gospel - truths that you may know in your head - and apply them to the nitty gritty reality of daily life. You'll find that as the gospel re-makes you, there is greater joy and desire to share the wonderful news of God's lovingkindness with others.
